I use my vintage straight stitch Singer machine, never a problem!

[@marlenesalamandyk878]

Pat Sloan, just came across one of your early videos and love it ❤

[@joanmcfadyen]

Nice to see this video! Pat Sloan is as relevant today as see was when this video was made!

[@vickip3566]

Oh my! you.saved my life. I'm sewing a charm quilt that has approximately 500 triangles in it and I just couldn't get it right! Now it looks great and you made it easy! Thanks.

[@Saucyakld]

Thank you Pat, always avoided triangles but now feel confident I can do it!

[@kathleengalovic1514]

❤❤thank you for sharing this ❤❤

[@patriciamaas6727]

I will start a triangle type quilt in two weeks..you answered two of my questions! Thank you.

[@christinetookey5637]

Haha! I was sewing from right to left!.....thanks Pat x

[@ellenhofer3343]

Thank you, Pat. I have always been intimated by triangles. Making sure the long side is in the straight grain (length of fabric) of the fabric when cut really helps, too.

[@faithjohnson]

Hi Pat, thanks so much for the tip. I mostly always use a leader & ended when I start and stop sewing.

[@texasproud8822]

Thank you. Great tip.

[@BarbBulgart]

Thank you! This was so helpful!!

[@sandradummer4726]

Thanks Pat,appreciate your help on this. I need to try the triangles. I’ve been avoiding them. I shouldn’t, I’m going to make mistakes but..I’m going to try with your help on this video.

[@amandac.5846]

So helpful thank you

[@jeannies6859]

Pat I love your videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise! When I join my rows of triangles the tips end up looking cut off. How can I see the rows so the triangle tips show nicely and precisely?

[@margaretcrawford1634]

Do you have a book on monogramming?

[@pheart2381]

So you dont iron the hem allowance under each piece first? How do you make sure the finished pieces will be the right size? For applique my pieces need hems.

[@cathieelton6974]

Is there any way to sew triangles together that aren’t exactly the size they should be. I cut them all out and sewed them together before I realized any tricks to do this.

[@tammyb1534]

What foot and stitch setting are you using?

[@PatSloan]

TammyB if you go to about 2:20 you can see the panel with the default stitch length set and a close up of the foot

[@ellenhofer3343]

She mentioned she is using a regular foot, (which for Baby Lock is the J foot).

[@karenminckler4198]

I am starting with 4 1/2 inch squares cut in half. I want to sew them together to make a border for a baby quilt. Will I be sewing them together the same way as you did these?

[@homecookteresagreen]

That would be a different triangle. You are doing half square triangles or right triangles. She was doing 60 degree triangles.

[@karenminckler4198]

I ended up not doing it. It didn’t work out.

[@homecookteresagreen]

Didn’t work out? What do you mean? You should watch some videos on half square triangles.

[@karenminckler4198]

It wasn’t going to go from one side to the other and be even on all sides. So I put a plain border on it.

[@homecookteresagreen]

What do you mean be even on all sides?

[@coholt1]

Oh i think that is what i do wrong. For some reason when i get to the end ... i veer off for some reason, excitement i think..,

[@Rosebud2503]

Lol....same here...I do understand you well.
